I admire Natalie Angier’s willingness to take on the task of describing, for lay people, the entire universe of science. And she does a credible job of it, too. Problem is, her prose is so thickly larded with puns, gratuitous analogies, and gags as to be nearly unreadable. A pity she didn’t treat her OCPD (obsessive compulsive pun disorder) before sitting down to write.
